I got this link from an IGN board, posted it on the RetroGamingRadio forums and I thought I'd share it here:

Basically it's all Nintendo related newsgroups postings from around 1989 forward, when the Genesis, NES, and TG-16 were duking it out and when the SNES was on the horizon. What's interesting, above and beyond the viewpoints from that time period, are how the posts were written. Proper grammar, punctuation and sentence structure were present in a lot of the posts I read. Actually kind of refreshing to see well thought out sentences as opposed to "hacker speak" and lots of abbreviations or acronyms.
Enjoy.
